Because I'm all generous and selfless and, most importantly, have finally managed to get my hands on the semi-new product that everyone seems to be talking about, I'm giving away (wait for it) Le Whif.

What is Le Whif? Well, the short version is that it's chocolate. That you snort.

Learn all the tasty, tasty details at lewhif.com. But, basically, it was invented by some biomedical engineer at Harvard and is supposed to give you a calorie-free choco-high that's legal in all 50 states (and likely numerous foreign countries as well). Plus there's a coffee version. And, yes, I'm giving away one of those too.

How does this giveaway work? Just follow (in order) the simple steps below:

Leave a comment to this post expressing your interest. It might read: Chocolate. Or perhaps Coffee. Or even: I just can't decide, so you choose for me, sweet, sweet Niobe.

Get chosen by the random number generator.

Receive Le Whif.

Inhale.

***comments closed ... stay tuned for winners***

Full disclosure: While I wish that Le Whif were subsidizing this post in some way, such is very much not the case.

I usually do not enter giveaways, but I am totally in love with the idea of inhaling coffee. And believe when I say that I will line it up, after the children goto bed, like I am in Good Fellas...and say to me husband, "What am I? A clown?"

I am slightly confused, and more than a bit concerned that if I win, I'll become addicted and end up in rehab in Arizona and then in a half-way house trying to rebuild my life post-Le Whif while my poor husband struggles to raise our boys without their mother.

And where did you find it? When I first heard about it a few months ago, I tried to find some because I think that the whole idea is FASCINATING. But I couldn't find any in the US, or anywhere that would ship to the US for that matter.

-- A new screen will come up with a Find Stores option in pink in the lower left hand corner. Click on the relevant area (North America/ UK/ France/ Rest of the World) and you'll see the stores near you that stock LeWhif. (and I'm sure most of them would be happy to ship it to you as well)

Clearly I'm a very boring sort of weirdo - I can't imagine joyously *wanting* to sniff ANYthing up my nose!! I'm amazed so many others are excited about the prospect. And I hope it works out wonderfully for each and everyone of you who tries it, but ... though I love both coffee and chocolate, and love them even more together... just, NO. EWWW! Imagine how nasty your next nose-blowing experience is going to look after a few "LeWhifs" to innocent passers-by as you blow all kinds of sticky brown nastiness into a nice clean white tissue.

Sorry for that visual.

Really looking forward to hearing how this actually works for people.

Maybe now they'll come out with facial tissues in rich, dark colors?

Of course, the powder could be white or sparkly fairy dust... I'm just assuming brown for some reason.

Sparkly nose chocolate would kind of kick ass! I mean, maybe then those sneezes would be a like a blessing to those who were previously going to be shocked and disgusted - suddenly fairy dust is flying through the air! Just duck if it's looking thick.

I'd love either one, though if I got the chocolate there would likely be a wrestling match in my house over it (as dh is a bit obsessed with chocolate). Would make for an interesting blog post to say the least... ;)
